Answer:

a. There's a 95% chance that the true proportion is in the confidence interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we want to estimate a property of a population (a population's parameter), without surveying the population, we use samples.

Then, with the information of the samples we can calculate the statistics and infere properties about a population. This inferences obviously came with some uncertainty, depending on the properties of the sample and specially the sample size.

When we talk about confidence intervals, we use the statistic of the sample (in this case, the mean) to estimate a range of values it is expected to find the true mean of the population. The width of this interval depends on the sample standard deviation and the sample size.

The value of the confidence interval (95%, 99%, etc) represent the probabilty that the true mean is within this interval.

The slope of two lines are 5/6 and 2/p. determine the value of p that will make the lines
Anni [7]
Parallel:  the lines have = slopes.  We thus need 5/6 to equal 2/p.  then 5p must equal 12, and p = 12/5.   (answer)

Check:  Is 5/6 = 2 / (12/5)?  YES

Perp.:  The lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of one another.

Then -6/5 = 2/p,  or

 -6      2
---- = ----
  5      p             Thus, -6p = 10, and p = -5/3   (answer)

Please help and explain <br><br> question 12
il63 [147K]

The sunflower is 2.387 meters tall.

The question is asking: which rounding will result in the greatest value?

To see, we need to round 2.387 to meter, tenth meter, and hundredth meter.

Meter - 2 meters

Tenth meter - 2.4 meters

Hundredth meter - 2.39 meters

As you see, rounding to the tenth meter gives the greatest value of 2.4. Therefore, Bahir should use a decimal rounded to the tenth meter.
